Besides all the nancys arguing with eachother, especially tigs and his homoerotic tendencies, those are some fucking expensive sprockets.

Other than oil testing, I am pretty sure the rest of them are a matter of opinion. Even then, some people would debate oil test results. Yes each one of those have different attributes, but in the end it is up to the end user to decide which attributes are the most important to them and to judge for themselves as to which best suits their needs. Women, Bikes, and Jackets are all matters of opinions. None of them are right or wrong. But, we can firmly conclude the above conclusion as false.
NO! Some things are truth,Jessica Alba is more attractive than Rosie O'Donnel,a test could be done to prove one jacket's effectiveness over anothers,a ZX10 has more hp than a GSXR1000 or a CBR1000rr is lighter than a R1-in those catagories one bike is better than another,one quart of oil costs $1000 but lasts forever-the other costs $1 and only lasts 1000 miles- you can make all kinds of cases and justifications for using the $1 oil but the fact will still remain that the $1000 oil is BETTER! Just because you can't afford a BMW does not mean that it's not a better car than a Kia. Opinion does not outweigh fact. Your budget doesn't change fact. What your buddys think doesn't change fact. Who states the fact doesn't stop it from being fact.

The bottom line for me is,if I was on here posting the "sky is blue",there are certain members who would reply things like; " there are clouds so it's blue/white","it's night time in Korea so it's black"," the weather is bad here,so it's grey",etc. I know you all blame these "little wars" on me and my "homoerotic tendencies" but if you read my original premise with an open mind and forget who wrote it,you'll see that I'm right. You can throw all kinds of monkey wrenches in my supposition;1 out of 100 guys frequently change their sprockets,some guys don't ride enough to justify it,etc. The fact remains that if you use aluminum sprockets,and you ride enough to have to replace it twice a year,and you own your bike for more than two years,and you don't change your gearing frequently,a $159 Ti sprocket;providing that it lasts atleast as long as 4 alum sprockets and that alum sprockets cost at least $50 ea; makes sense. BTW I had a Sidewinder Tri-metal sprocket on my '03 GSXR1000 for over 30,000 miles. When I traded it in,it showed almost no wear whatsoever. I should have put it on this bike...

The sky isn't neccessarily blue. Who says it's blue? Who defines blue? What is blue? Maybe grass is blue and we've been lied to all this time.

Oh and Tigger, calm the fuck down. Despite popular belief the world isn't out to get you.

this is pretty funny stuff to read

and btw-i didnt mean sprockets create more horsepower. im not fucking retarded lol-i was refering to you (tigger) saying "why run your bike at a higher rpm" reason-more hp. typically you have more power at 10k than 6k.

and yea -fuckin expensive

what was the point of this thread anyway? you could delete all the replys and just say-nice sprockets-kinda pricey. but then it would be the internet haha

im really bored, and i read this again, so i have to poke holes in it lol

jessica alba is more attractive than rosie o'donnell....to me and most straight guys and bi/lez girls. but some guys like fat chicks, and some chicks like butch/manly/ugly girls, they dont do the pretty girls. not a fact.

$1000 oil lasts forever, $1 oil last 1000miles....cant tell whats better based on just those two facts. less friction, how often you change filters, clutch packs, tear down the engine, and what you use it for determine which is better. not a fact.

skys not blue, its a reflection. thats a fact.

if you use aluminum sprockets,and you ride enough to have to replace it twice a year,and you own your bike for more than two years,and you don't change your gearing frequently,a $159 Ti sprocket;providing that it lasts atleast as long as 4 alum sprockets and that alum sprockets cost at least $50 ea; makes sense. fact.

you got one right lol-heres a star *, have a cookie. happy?
